Consumer Description

ONE MORNING I NOTICED THAT A CRACK HAD APPEARED ON THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE ON THE LIFT GATE RIGHT BY THE LINCOLN EMBLEM. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT HAPPENS FOR NO REASON ON LINCOLN AVIATORS OF CERTAIN YEARS. NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIFT GATE HINGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS SLIGHTLY SHIFTED AND I HAVE NOT EVEN OPENED IT IN MONTHS. THIS I WAS NOTIFIED IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON DEFECT ON THESE VEHICLES! I LITERALLY AM SCARED TO EVEN OPEN THE BACK LIFT GATE NOW AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO CAUSE EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. *TR
